Chapter 1005 - Really Precious.
Li Xue soon ca to her car. As she has expected all this while her daughter had not remained silent. She was still as enthusiastic as before, dictating all her experience story to Du Fan.
"Ah, WeiWei, how many tis have I said to see if other people are even interested to hear your story or not. You would bore your Uncle DuDu like that." She said with a smile, as stepping inside the car, she got herself settled beside her little princess.
"But Mama, I have asked Uncle DuDu. He wanted to hear what all I have said on the stage. So, I have listed down all the points that I have said and also the points that Senior Brother Avron has stated." Explaining to her mother, WeiWei turned to look at Li Xue, blinking her eyes of innocence.
Li Xue looked at her and could only press her lips before looking guiltily at Du Fan. She was ready to apologize on her daughter's behalf when the driver shook his head in nothingness.
"Madam, it's always interesting to hear young little princess explaining sothing. Her words and idea are very much like Young Master." He said and there was nothing Li Xue could say more.
What could she do if everyone around was trying their best to spoil the little one?
So, shaking her head, she could only let it be the way it was. "Okay then, thank you for looking after her, Mr. Driver. We can return back to ho now." She said and soon Du Fan drove the way back to Our Paradise.

On the other side, at so high-end restaurant's private room, there was a gathering going on. Though no special person was sharing his views or ideas among, the excitent laced on people's faces was enough to tell the story of profit for which they have gathered there.
"Mrs. Zhang, please let raise a toast for you." Soone from among the people gathered ca forward with her goblet of wine with a cheesy smile curved on her lips. Her eyes were all focused on one lady in between everyone. "In the na of your return back to the country. To our own land and city." One cheered and the other followed the suit.
Everyone clapped and cheered at the toast as one after the other, they ca to raise and clink the glass with one particular lady.
Mrs. Zhang's expression was that of honor. Smiling elegantly, she didn't refuse anyone. "You all are making feel so close. Though it's just a week since we have returned back to the city, I feel like I have never left. Thank you for making feel this belongingness." She said and smiling, she matched the gaze with everyone before keeping her goblet of wine on the table.
"Ah, Mrs. Zhang, what are you saying? You have always been a part of our big family." Soone said again. Talking high never cost anything much, so people never cared while using their words to coax people around. This was the process where the gaining percentage was high while losing one was negligible. "By the way where is Xiaotong? We have not seen her for years?"
"I have heard she has grown pretty overseas. Much like a princess from those old fantasy tales."
"If not have been for our dear Shufen, I would have asked your precious daughter for my son. But since Shufen is our dearest, he deserves her more." Soone said again and others agreed to her.
But hearing her sothing paused in Mrs. Zhang. Taking her glass of wine back in her hands, she sipped a little on her drink before showing her doubt at the words. A smile perfectly manipulating her right intentions. "Shufen … it's been long since I have seen him. I heard these days he has got so woman by his side. If that's right, we would have to think for the future of Xiaotong; after all, she is our only dear daughter."
A silence fell around evidencing that the thing that the lady talked about wasn't sothing new. Everyone knew about it from very before, just they didn't feel it important to discuss.
After a long ti, soone finally ca forward. Though there was a hesitation in the voice, there was still hidden confidence that could make anyone believe. "Mrs. Zhang rest assured. Those are just re rumors. Feng Shufen would be going to be the Feng family's future patriarch. There would be no way we would be letting him marry just anyone."
"Right. The future wife would be going to be the matriarch of the Feng family. It's just not like anyone could co up to take the position.? For that position, only Zhang Xiaotong is suited. We won't accept anyone else."
Soon everyone nodded and accepted. Be it the n or the woman; all were just there to impress the lady.
Mrs. Zhang gave a smile but didn't make her thought too obvious. "I know you people loved Xiaotong as your own but she is still soone very precious to her. We know Shufen could be a good choice for her but until and unless we see her future getting secured, we won't be deciding on it. I hope you all would take it seriously as well. Please don't force her too much into it."
She said and her words were enough to make everyone realize the need of the situation.
"Anyway, please enjoy the evening. Today is just to bring you all for the get-together." The Zhang lady said as once again and everyone went back to their own world of talks and discussions.
While none were noticing soone from the midst of the groups stood up to excuse herself to walk outside. Once exited the room, she went to the corner to make a call.
Though her gestures were looking suspicious at the surface, none of the hotel staff had the power to stop her in her way to ask what she was up to. Not just because she was one of the guests there but for almost everyone at the restaurant knew that the private room was booked in the na of Fengs. And no one held the power to offend them.
"Hello, Qinrou. You were right to say. Mrs. Zhang doesn't look too happy with us. She has got the air of Shufen having an affair. We would need to be serious over this now." Reaching a secluded corner, the woman was first to make the call.
